I have added a new class (variant) to the EAS Fleet Yards, the Emden
class escort.

Please vote
for EAS at Trekkers Guide (hint: 10
is best ;-)).

22.12.01Happy Holidays! Please sign
my new guestbook
I was forced to set up since Vantagenet doesn't support this feature any longer.
The poll will be down too, but I'm working on getting a new account.

03.12.01
Updated the ASDB. Special thanks to the contributors
outside the ASDB.

02.12.01
I have added reviews of "Civilization"
and "Fortunate Son" and updated other sections accordingly.

26.11.01
Read an interview with Rick Sternbach, former Senior Illustrator and
Technical Advisor of Star Trek Voyager. Rick talks about the making of props and ships for Voyager, his
current work on "Star Trek X" and his opinion about Enterprise. I have also updated EAS Today.

24.11.01
Official opening of the extended Starship
Database which, in some remote future, will have drawings, data and comments
on all ships that ever appeared in Star Trek. Right now, I have added the Klingon
and the Pre-Federation pages. Note that the
database is under permanent construction. I am grateful for any additions and
corrections, but please don't expect me to come up with the missing pages too
soon.

21.10.01
Thanks a lot to Thomas, who has agreed to host my galleries at
concept40.com. I
have taken the opportunity and made a few updates. You find
the galleries here.
Thanks also to the other visitors who had many useful
suggestions.

18.10.01
The galleries are down (again), and they won't return until
I have found a permanent solution to my pressing webspace and
traffic problem.

17.10.01
I am alienated about a recent petition with thousands of
signatures to change the Enterprise title theme, which (in
contrast to the horrible Akiraprise) IMHO perfectly suits the
series. Please go to the petition
to keep the theme!

10.10.01
Congratulations to Le Trekker Fou who wins the EAE
Award for his site, Star
Trek Fr! Please take part in the new
poll about your first impression of Enterprise.

09.10.01
Due to popular request, here are reviews of
"Broken
Bow" and "Fight or Flight".

03.10.01
The Starfleet Museum will
celebrate its second anniversary on October, 10th. On this
occasion Masao has created countless new ship patches, and
there are some fantastic 3D scenes of the Lancaster
class by Thomas Pemberton. The page structure has been
rearranged too for faster loading.

At EAS, there is finally an
episode section about DS9. I hope I will
get the reviews of the final season done soon.

26.09.01
Big update of the ASDB with many new images, especially of the
Bradbury and Merced
3D models, and dozens of new sketches. Several new images in
the EAS Fleet Yards too, thanks to
Bob, Brian, Jay, and Peiper!

25.09.01
My complaint about the new Enterprise ("Akiraprise")
as being too new has been printed in the recent Entertainment
Weekly magazine (see scan,
thanks to Shik). Here's the link (gone) to the petition also mentioned in the article.

As the premiere of Enterprise is
approaching, I have set up an Enterprise
FAQ to explain my criticism about the new series. I don't
mean to offend visitors who are looking forward to it, but
just don't want to answer always the same questions again and
again.

13.09.01
This is not the time to go back to business as usual. I have
written down a few thoughts
about September 11th which may offer a positive perspective
for the future.

11.09.01
My condolences to the victims. And death to the cowardly
bastards responsible for it!

08.09.01
Happy Star Trek Day! Unfortunately I'm currently unable to
celebrate this event the way it would deserve. Read here.

04.09.01
New reviews of "Flesh and
Blood" and "Shattered", the latter supplemented
with an analysis of the time
travel problems.

31.08.01
The Wolf 359 Project has
grown to a size where it can't be presented on one page any
longer. I have divided it into pages about individual ships.
There is some new information too, and Masaki's illustrations
how the ships were built.

28.08.01Starfleet Museum update -
added several new images and a page about the patrol
ships of the Archer class and Curran class. Special thanks to Jay and Thomas!

27.08.01
I have been planning book reviews
for a long time, which I will now do with the help of my buddy
Thorsten.

09.07.01
New poll. You may guess what it's
about. Here's a petition (link gone) I have decided to support. It won't help to get rid of the
Akiraprise, but may at least tell TPTB that not everyone devotedly
follows their silly ideas.

08.07.01
The Enterprise is the Akira! I have never been so alienated
about anything in Star Trek. Read here.
EAS Today has been updated.

16.05.01
Now that it's official, tell your opinion about
"Enterprise" in the new poll.

Due to popular request I have enabled the access to the bridge
diagrams again, they are now back on the glorious EAS main server.

Due to
Stratospheric problems it may happen that large files are not completely
downloaded from there, because the server simply ends the transmission after a
timeout of only a few seconds. In such a case, please try again. I affirm
that the upload was complete.

15.05.01
It sucks! The image galleries have been down for almost two days, and now the
download size limit of MyToday has been
decreased to 200 kilobytes. This means that most of the bridge
diagrams can't be downloaded. I'm tired of moving
everything around every few days, so they will stay offline for the time being.
One request: Please don't mail me with suggestions to move to another server -
well, unless you run a server yourself. I know there is no free provider with
conditions that suit my needs, and with domain hosting I would have to pay a
fortune for the traffic of EAS.

11.05.01
It's official. The TOS prequel "Enterprise" has been
announced by Paramount. Read the full story at TrekToday
and my comment.
I think that the new series will most likely damage the spirit
of 35 years of Star Trek and will completely destroy
its consistency. From what we know so far it's also one of the
least imaginative science fiction premises ever. Sorry, but I
don't have much hope. I can't help feeling this will be the
end of Star Trek.

26.04.01
That's the last straw! Geocities really pisses me off. For the
second time in only a few weeks they have deleted all files in
my account and disabled the upload. This time I even obeyed
their "friendly reminder" - which I received
although I had already uploaded all the files - and used their
silly page builder to prove I really want to maintain a site
there. Since all attempts to move the large fleet charts in
TIFF format somewhere else failed due to file size limits, I can no
longer offer them for download.

23.04.01
Grand opening of the new EAS Galleries
with currently 550 images, covering all aspects of Star Trek.
Thanks to MyToday,
where the galleries are hosted for free without ads.

Considering that they must exist, I have added all ships from
Wolf 359 to my official ship
list.

05.04.01
It's sickening! It's a complot! Once my domain is running again, I have
discovered that Geocities has deleted my free account where I was keeping the
fleet chart downloads, and that Nedstat has messed up my counters. Never get any
free web services! Once you have them, you won't have the time to do anything
else but fix them!

02.04.01
Everything seems to be up and running again. Thanks a lot to Lucutus
and to Tango Fleet for their awards!

30.03.01
While I'm writing this, the EAS domains are down for 78
hours, because the "routine maintenance" of the
server at Strato ended up
in a disaster once again. 1.7 million customers are offline
too, because Strato has no backup system! Of course, I could
change my ISP, but I checked and there is absolutely no chance
to get the unlimited traffic EAS urgently needs elsewhere -
it's currently 20 gigabytes per month which would ruin me if I
had to pay for it. Thanks for your understanding.

22.03.01
Still more new stuff in the Starfleet
Museum. Now almost 50 new images altogether!

21.03.01
New in the Starfleet
Museum: 3D scenes by Thomas, Fabio, and Brian, plus countless
ship patches by Masao.

19.03.01
Some new scans in the starship gallery, most notably five-view
schematics of the Dauntless,
and a terrific image of the Enterprise
and Excelsior in the spacedock (Due to the server timeout
the image may not load completely - please try "reload" in this case).

Many thanks to
Quark's, to Trekstation
and to Trekiweb
for their awards!

13.03.01
Congratulations to Benjamin who wins the EAE Award
for his site Sektion 31.

07.03.01
New material about Wolf 359, including the
long awaited photo of the Springfield class (Thanks a lot to Mike Okuda) and new
facts about the Challenger class. Balapoel has provided his new
ship recognition charts.

23.02.01
After Geocities was so wise to disable off-site linking
(thereby denying their members the possibility to make their sites public
outside Geocities), I had
the questionable pleasure of removing about a dozen banners.
My apologies to all whose banners are gone. Please contact me
when you have found a better server for them. The most disastrous
effect is that none of the webring images loads any longer. This is
why I leave all webrings once and for all.

22.02.01
Help! I need some free webspace. Read about my experiences
so far.

08.01.01
I have compiled new fleet charts
of all alien ships for which I could find size figures or
references. Please note that many of them are only rough
estimates. The sources
of the size figures are described on a separate page.

Thanks
to the 5th
Fleet for their award!

03.01.01
The true New Millennium brings several new features and
countless updates. The Fabrux
class (idea by Lance) is new at the EAS Fleet Yards. The design
tutorial shows how the ship was created.
